Roberto Carlos

Just recently we've crossed the border here(we live in Brownsville,15 minutes from the International Brigde)and walking down the streets we found some bar called ''Mingos'' and we dropped by to have some cheap beers at $1.As I was looking inside the bar I have asked with my funny Spanish If they had some Brazilian cd..They did it and it was in Spanish.Boy,I guess the owner made my day because those songs were from the time my mother was dating my father and stuff.The one song It did touch my heart was ''LADY LAURA''...Tears came and I rememberd my mother who loves that song....I had a great time there because we've talked about politics,politicians,Lula,Vicente Fox(Mexican President),besides it was an opportunity for Rob to try to speak some Spanish with those local people.Friendly,just like Brazilians are.Seeing all those people listening to Roberto and singing made my day.I wonder If Americans cry that easily as we do.Maybe because South American and Central American people miss they own places.Picture yourself with a Green Card as I have but not knowing when you'll be back to your hometown?I think it is sometimes worse than those guys who are wetbacks and cannot come back at all.Mingos will be a great spot to go by and I don't need a fancy place like Mucuripe Club(Best night club in Fortaleza).Cold and honest beer.By the way,besides Roberto carlos,I also found Nelson Ned,Altemar Dutra and Poetinha.
